BP is marshaling equipment for an attempt as early as Sunday at a "top kill," which involves pumping heavy mud into the top of the blown-out well to try to plug the gusher. A top kill has been used before above ground, but like other methods BP is exploring, it has never been attempted 5,000 feet underwater.

If it doesn't work, the backup plans include a "junk shot"—shooting golf balls, shredded tires, knotted rope and other material into the well to clog it up.

God I hope this happens

Agreed, but remember, to them, big everything "big oil" does is evil.

lack of regulation.  domestic water plumbing requires shut off or isolation valves at certain locations at every building.  why doesnt plumbing that carries high volumes of oil under the sea have them?  prolly be cause they dont have to.  Bad regs.

I do love that this is what it's come to, though.  They should have just started throwing golf balls and mud and tires into the hole from the start.  Would have been hilarious.

Would be excellent. 

They should just bring down hundreds of golfers and give them a bunch of old golf balls and let them tee off.  Seems like it would do about the same thing.

They already have a big ass box there.  Drop the box on the well, fill the box with Sham Wows.  Make sure to get the Sham Wows slightly damp first(otherwise they are worthless).

SNL had a great skit last week with the BP execs discussing a variety of "plans" to stop the leak.

Just watching the latest from Sanjay Gupta and AC on CNN doing their special reporting on the situation. Somehow after the break, they're getting ready to drag Joran Van Der Sloot into this. They're also talking about the human health effects now. If have a feeling BP could be on the hook for a couple hundo Billion after this is all said and done (20 years from now). :frown:

I think the republicans somehow blocked legislation that would allow bp to be sued for more than $75 million. With the numbers advantage the democrats have, I'm not sure how this was possible. :flush:

I bet Bate and/or TNCat both have a legitimate gutbusting Tiger Woods joke to go along with this.

wouldn't the sand wedge be a more appropriate club?
